Extract token from response url - Spotify API

Question

I\'m using this code to get a token from Spotify\'s Web API:

Answer 1

You need to decode the JSON:

$response = json_decode($response, true);

Then you'll have an array with the values.

$token = $response['access_token'];

Also, you're missing a necessary option to obtain the response in this way:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

If not defined, you will get a boolean value instead of the response.
